Barely knew I was in labor. Tightness and cramps at 7cm.i thought nothing of it. Wasn't as horrible as people said. Hoping for same result with this baby. Very informative video.
Omg ur soooo lucky , did u stay home majority of the time during contractions ?
Was there anything specific you did for your smooth delivery /early labor ?
Likewise, would like to know what you did specifically and how actively you exercised beforehand
@@Ginger_Spicy_Candor tons of walking and raspberry leaf tea.
@@blazineyezasian____ raspberry leaf tea & tons of walking. I was induced.
Lucky mommy! 😁
First time mama here. Due in 2 weeks and not getting epidural due to scoliosis. You just made me feel so much better about this upcoming experience, thank you so much!
How did you find it?
How did it go? I'm due in 4 weeks and can't have an epidural due to a failed fusion and spinal ligament calcification.
Induction on Saturday and had spinal fusion at 11yo for scoliosis. Anyone want to share their experience?
I didn’t knew I was in labor because I just felt like intense menstrual cramps but I noticed that they were too close so I decided to go hospital and yes I was dilated 5 cm
LOVEE YOUR CONTENT!!! Awesome explanation!! So informative!
I wish more hospitals offered nitrous oxide
Nitrous is too cheap. They want you shelling out the big bucks. Jokes on them, now huge numbers of women are starting to stay home to give birth. :-) you can do all the nitrous you want at home. Just get the canisters. :-)
I’ve had one with an epidural and two without (one came so fast I didn’t even have a chance to get one). So far each labor experience and pains have been a little different! I’m a few weeks away from baby four. I have a tail bone injury so I’m going in to it very much doing what I need to birth with the injury in mind. Whether that be pain relief, or needing mobility to take advantage of different positions and keep pressure off my tailbone. This was helpful to learn/be reminded of all the different options available!
Great info Doc! So important to educate our patients with this information so they can make the best INFORMED decision for them! 😀
Yes I feel the same!
Hopefully this is the last tidbit I get from you before I go into labor! Due in five days! 🤞🏼🥰
Yay!! Good luck!! Congratulations in advance!
What about if you've had a spinal fusion in the thoracic area. Like scoliosis fusion, what would be the best pain management?
Agreed! I genuinely do not understand why using pain management is so stigmatized
It’s not stigmatized it really is harmful and done people like to think
Thanks for the video, doc! I didn't know about some of these options. Looking forward to your thoughts on prenatal vitamins!
Yay, that's great, so excited I added something to your knowledge base!
What would u recommend a longer form that doesn’t wear off?
very informative. Thank you. I am thinking of getting a pudendal block but the issue of timing concerns me. Is it true success rates are fairly low?
Hey, I'm curious too. the pudendal block is not talked about much. Did you actually get it? How was your experience?
@@sharonmatheka4164 Hi. I didn't get it (ended up in a CS) but my anaesthetist told me the block are very rarely done nowadays, especially in our setting (Nairobi). Perhaps you could have a consultation with your anaesthetist.
ohh the painkillers felt so bad for me! its like you are half asleep and still feeling all the pain (first option), I wish I didn't do it at all and itching was so bad!! I wish I did epidural right away
Men do not get pregnant. Someone claiming to be a doctor and giving information about labor and delivery should know that.
i can't even manage menstrual pain month to month which withou painkillers makes me sick from both ends, nauseated, dizzy, and unable to move normally. and obgyn said i don't have any illness, it's a purely physical thing.
i wish i found exercise that would work, but haven't found it. (got recommended some by body movement professionals but it didn't really work)
I'm guessing it's something like endometriosis or pcos (but you can't see those without the right exam). In the meantime check out The Period Repair Manual by Lara Briden. She talks about all of those symptoms and how to imrpove them. A lot of it is getting away from an inflammatory diet and making sure you're getting all of the right micro and macro nutirents.
The best pain management vocalization. Scream and yell and make all kinds of noises. We evolved the ability to yell in response to pain for a reason. It channels energy out.
Unless you suggest that everyone learn Lamaze or hypno whatever just in case they break a bone or end up in intense pain with a kidney stone or whatever... Then don't suggest women learn it for birth.
I didn't hear the word "women" once, just pregnant/laboring "person".
This is just a statement, so I'm not sure if you have a problem with it or not, but...women are also people.
@@baileylushina She didn't use the word woman because she didn't want to offend trans zealots. Women are the only "people" who can give birth, it's insulting to pretend otherwise or to call us birthing people, chest feeders, people with a uterus..
What about fentanyl? Of course with supervision
Is general anesthesia only used for c-sections?
Like what do you mean, you want someone to give birth while they’re asleep?
@MB-su4tr well if it's a c- section do you have to be awake for that, that's all I'm asking?
Stopped watching after 'laboring person' and 'pregnant person'
Woman. You mean, woman.
It's interesting because the use of gender inclusive language is what made me subscribe. It's so important to me to support my trans friends.
People who are not women give birth all the time. Their existence does not threaten me or my Parenthood in any way.
@@fighttheevilrobots3417
Let's just agree to disagree.
Why does that bother you? Why are you threatened?
Uhhh...no. Women do not = laboring person / pregnant person. She did not mean woman. She meant what she said. They are not the same thing, and you thinking they are interchangable is very reductive.
@itsniquenique45 I am not threatened. It is incredibly demeaning to reduce what a woman is and does to something anyone can be or do. Women are special and unique and are the only one of the two sexes who can bear children. So do not dare take that away from us.
